Gen. Brialmont, the Belgian military
engineer who made a great sensation
among military men thirty years and
more ago by an article on Powder
Magazines, and is the author of a score
Of standard works on the science of war,
has eclipsed nll his former exploits by
condemning the elaborate Notifications
about Bucharest in Roumania. His
reasons are based upon tho destructive
force of the new compound called mel
mite. There is probably nothing in
Europe in the way of Notifications, save
at Metz and Antwerp, that can rival
Bucharest; and if the Belgian general
can be trusted, the whole system of
modern rampant defense must be re-
modeled.-Boston Transcript.

THERE remains little doubt of the de-
feat Of the socialist candidate for mayor
of Chicago by the hearty support, on the
part of the Democrats. of the Republi-
can nominee. The maintenance of law,
the preservation of order, 30 essential to
the prosperity of a great commercial me
tropolis is Of far more importance than
any other consideration which should af.
feet a city election, The labor vote,
which includes the socialist though it
does not coincide with it, is small regard
ed as volcing the sentiments of the ele.
ment it assumes to represent. Doubtless
the extreme doctrines OF its leaders en-
listed against it the common sense Of
thoughtful w%orkingmen. 1t was boosted
that the labor candidate would poll n vote
of 10000. The returns will probably
show a falling of Of at least 5000 from
this estimate.

IT HAS been declared by the official
organ at St. Petersburg that tho work Of
the Anglo-Russian frontier commission is
not likely to lead to any useful result, and
that the force of circumstances will inevi-
tably impel Russia sooner or later to
move forwasd until she reaches her natu

mountains. Force of circumstances" is
a new equivalent for manifest destiny"
Either means anything that will furnish
pretext for encroachmant on the territory
of a weaker power. whether a car would
conquer or a republic desire to annex.

American architecture has been charged
with want of originality or invention. but
this has been by persons who have not
understood the natural limits of original
ity in architectural form. On tho con-
trary, we havo moro originality than we
have known what to do with, and we
have expended it in u thousand vagaries.
What u architects have needed has not
been q spur to invention or q demand for
novelties, but some influence to check
their waywardness and hold them to one
mnnne of design till their work acquired
consistence and the public got instruc-
ton. And hero we lack q balance wheel
which most older nations have. The
want Of an old architecture by which the
taste Of the intelligent is insensibly
formed means the want of a very i'm
rortant guiding inhuence.-W. p. P.
Longfellow in New Princeton Review.

Customs and Entertainments in Russi

Customs and entertainments in Russia.
A lady sojourning in Russia writes to a
friend in this city from which we are per-
mitted to quote: 1.-The climate is delight
full in st. Petersburg. All palaces, CALLER
les and churches-in fact all places are
kept SO warm that not a sensation of cold
is experienced. No one ever wears wraps
into the salon; furs and galoshes are taken
off by servants below stairs. Agentleman
would us soon think of entering a draw
room minus his coat as with unpublished
boots. On entering n church or gallery
wraps are always left in an ante-chamber,
and there being no dressing rooms-as in
America-at social entertainments, our
chasseur remove these down stairs, takes
charge of them and puts them on again.
Court balls here arc the most magnificent
in the world, and certain ceremonials are
magnificent beyond description, such as
the grand fete of the Epiphany, the Three
Kings and the Blessings of the Waters.
Recall your impressions of the Arabian
Nights, and imagine the most gorgeous
ceremony possible to conceive, and you
will get but O faint idea of the gorgeous
ness of these ceremonials.
1t is surprising to hear Russian ladies
speak English SO well. And it is not I'M
common for children to be taught Eng
lish before any other language. OF
course French is the language of society.
In summer the city is deserted and given
over to repairs; but it is n good time to
see the sights and environs. Americans
seem to feel it a sort of disgrace not to be
born with a knowledge of French; but if
q foreigner knows two or three words
only of English he delights to make use
of them. Detroit Free Press.

A very dramatic story about the Italian
exploits in their wal with the A~byssinians
is told by the foreign papers. The Itaian
soldiers fell where they stood in Limp of
battle. At last twelve or fifteen found
themselves cut off from escape with all
their cartridge boxes empty. At the
word of command they presented arm1
to their dead comrades around them.
The next volley Of the A~oyssinians
stretched them with The dead. Here is a
story for future ~iconoclasts to destroy.
Latin races are quite capable of the act.
and quite capable OF telling the story

wagner. pranner Of compo.inr.

It is impossible to speak with certainty
about Wagner's manner of composing.
he often laughed heartily when telling
about some composer, whom he had
visited, and found with q long pipe in
his mouth engaged in completing a
symphony, and who had complacently
shown his cora position, turning back
ward and forward among the pages and
crying out while designating certain pas
sages: Here there is quiet; now it
grows angry; now it is becoming dra-
matte; here I let loose a thunderbolt;
here we begin the down grade, and now
quiet again." the last word coming
through q cloud of tobacco smoke. 1t is
not necessary to say that Wagner could
never compose in this manner. A glance
into his scores will disclose the exalted
seriousness with which he approached
his task and the superearthly regions in
which he scared when he created his
ideal characters. BY the time that he
had written the posm Of his drama
during the work on which, of course.
much of the music was originated
in his mind) he had already noted
down o great number OF the musical
thoughts upon loose pieces OF music paper.
These notes he made in pencil and there
must DO q vast number of them in exis-
tence which are being %anxiously saved for
late posterity by Frau Cosima Wagner.
She has gradually gone over ell of them
with ink, otherwise the majority of them
would have become illegible. Only q few
can boast Of having received one of these
little sketches as souvenirs or reward from
the master in some moment of peculiarly
good humor.
After a considerable space had inter-
veped since the completion Of the poem
and he had given himself wholly up to its
musical spirit, he was not to be seen in
his family circle until Q o'clock in the
afternoon. From 8 o'clock in the morn
ing until Q in tho afternoon he worked
almost without interruption; sometimes
even longer. After dinner ho rested, either
taking q walk in the open air or attending
to his private correspondence. This lasted
until z O'Clock, when supper was eaten.
Then the whole family met in the music
room to pass the time till II or IL o'clock
with music alternating with conversation
and the reading of essays.-Herr Anton
Seide in New York Tribune.

IT BEGINS to look as though the inter
state commission will have no easy task,
not only in regulating railroad rates, but
in meeting the views of common carriers
OF a different class. The river men pro
test against such regulation of rates as
may not exclude them from competition.
One would think they would under any
circumstances retain the natural advan-
tage of highways which cost them moth
ing to build and little to keep in repair.
That there is ground for objection on their
part must be true, or such objection would
not be mado.

WHEN a party experiences a crushing
defeat there is generally good reason for
it. The Cincinnati Democracy was badly
beaten-snowed under, as it were-in the
municipal election there on Monday and
it probably received no more han its just
deserts. The Democratic candidate for
mayor came out third best. The party
that could depose Thurman to accept the
leadership Of Payne might expect to come
to naught, and to get there soon.
